The mission of CBT Australia is to promote excellence in cognitive behaviour therapy through the provision of therapy and professional training.
 Cognitive behaviour therapy
is the term used for a school of therapies that share the underlying
assumption that people are disturbed not by events in their lives but by
their beliefs about those events. It is a logical and practical
approach to help people with their emotional problems; as such it can
be extremely empowering and can bring lasting relief after short term
treatment.
Research shows considerable evidence that cognitive behaviour therapy
provides effective relief across the lifespan for many anxiety,
depressive and behavioural difficulties. Research also indicates that
for some problems it is actually the treatment of choice. In practice,
the cognitive behaviour therapist helps the client identify thoughts and
beliefs that lead to distress, then explores and re-evaluates those
thoughts, before helping the client develop more constructive and
helpful emotions and behaviour.
Most
CBT Australia psychologists have postgraduate training. A number of our
psychologists have specialist training in educational and developmental
psychology, and the health psychologists in the team have specialist
training to help people with the psychological aspects of physical
health problems.
CBT Australia offers nation wide CBT training courses with international and Australian trainers of the highest calibre in the field.
All CBT
Australia's therapists involved in training are experienced clinicians
in their own rite, adding the dimension of their rich case experience to
presentations and training.
Cognitive
Behaviour Therapy Australia places a strong emphasis on learning
through doing. All CBT training courses and workshops enable
participants to practice their skills, receive individual feedback and
observe therapy modelled by trainers. Therapy training with CBT
Australia is an active experience.

 CBT in Action: Applications in the Workplace
is the only book of its kind that that applies CBT to the workplace
setting and corporate training. Like other books in this series it is
practical and hands on.
The
initial version of this book, Reaching Their Minds: A Trainer's Manual
for Rational Effectiveness Training was published by the Albert Ellis
lnstitute in 1996. The founder of REBI, Albert Ellis, enthusiastically
endorsed it. In this new version of the book Dr DiMattia presents an
innovative approach using CBT in workplace coaching, a chapter that was
not in the initial book.

 Many
CBT texts outline theory and report research results that support the
efficacy of CBT as an effective therapy to alleviate emotional distress
and modify behaviour. Yet, readers can be left wondering how do you
actually do CBT?
CBT in Action: A Practitioner's Toolkit,
in contrast, is a practical, hands-on, how-to book. The actual 'toolkit' contains therapy resources for the CBT practitioner, and
includes scripts, cheat sheets, client handouts and therapy record
sheets for at home tasks.
